Met Art Affiliate Program – Adult Affiliate Program

JJ Galvez — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 10:08:43 +0000

Met-Art.com is a very high quality erotica website, that needs to be said now. This includes the Met-Art Affiliate Program – it uses CCBILL as a back end so if you can’t stand a simple UI with limited tools don’t sign up. Personally if it works and I’m making money I don’t mind!

This is one of my favorite affiliate programs because of the rather high conversion ratio I’ve been getting with them! Although our adult site has a very low amount of traffic, we’re still able to convert about 5-10+ sales each month without any major effort. We spent 3-4 hours on the site last month – 0 hours on the met art section.

Last month was actually a rather good month as there was a total of 18 transactions. The total number of raw clicks (not unique!) was 51. That made the click to transaction ratio 1:4.6.

So how do I do it?

Met-Art is a niche site that has grown to have it’s own following. I identified and targeted a set of keywords which have a decent number of monthly searches and made a single post related to it. After a few weeks (once it had been spidered and ranked for those keywords) we began to receive traffic on the post and the first sale come through. It hasn’t stopped since.

So what have we learned?

1) People love their erotica.
2) Long tail keywords can make you some money with just a little research. 3) Organic traffic is beautiful!

Finally if you want to make some money…..

4) Signup for the Met-Art Affiliate Program!

The Importance of Landing Pages

JJ Galvez — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 10:57:19 +0000

I’ve been working with PPC campaigns lately, it’s been fun actually. I found that when working on these campagins I’ve spent most of my time working on two things: campagin optimization (managing cost and keywords and analyzing traffic) and the creation and optimization of landing pages.

In this post I’ll be discussing the importance of a well optimized landing page, especially in regards to it’s use in PPC campaigns. I’ll be talking about optimization of PPC Campagin Management in a future post.

So first off, what is a landing page?

In online marketing a landing page, sometimes known as a lead capture page, is the page that appears when a potential customer clicks on an advertisement or a search-engine result link. The page will usually display content that is a logical extension of the advertisement or link, and that is optimized to feature specific keywords or phrases for indexing by search engines.

Wikipedia – Landing Pages

So now we know what the general idea of a landing page is. Like the advertisement that brought them to your page, it is a call to action – you’re telling the visitor:

Go Here!
Buy this!
Fill out this form.
This is something you should buy.
Make me some money!

Okay, well you can think that last one, but that’s basically the idea. Simple right? Kinda… not really. It’s easy to throw up a landing page and buy some traffic for it, you’ll get people going to the page, but will they perform the action that is going to earn you some greenbacks?

Creating a Landing Page

From reading, creating, and experimenting with landing pages I’ve learned that there are basically two major schools of thought.

A page promotes multiple offers and gives access to related products

I can see the first of these being very useful when you have access to a product catalog and are not promoting a single product. For example, when promoting for a jewelry store you might want to create a landing page for high quality diamond rings. In this situation you might not want to feature a single ring, instead you might be much more interested in featuring the top 5 selling diamond rings, maybe even a section for the company’s current specials. Another good way of doing this is making a very visually attractive page link to the different related sections of your site. Blue Nile has a great landing page setup for engagement rings.

Personally I would get a little crazy on this, create a small system capable of pulling in the jeweler’s catalog, creating a database that is queried based on keywords, then create PPC campaigns with dynamic keyword inserts, and BOOM you could have a dynamic landing page whose content is generated based on what the user is searching for, oh targeting is indeed quite sweet.

Create a page that promotes a single offer

I like this one, it’s so much faster! As far as I’ve seen in my own results these type of landing pages are also more effective; this of course conversions will depend on many different variables – anything from the type of product you’re selling to the type of customer the company targets. Anyhow, pages like these are quite common and am example of a landing page I setup for a hosting advertisement (dreamhost promo) can be found by clicking that link.

These type of pages are quick and easy to get up and running. Optimizing these pages is the real trick you’ll need to learn.

Optimizing the Page – What I’ve Learned So Far

Make sure the page loads quickly – they just clicked an add and expect to see what they are looking for… NOW!
Keep the graphics to a minimum – don’t flood their browser with a ton of images! Brings down load time and it can quickly turn away some people
Don’t be too minimalist! The page needs to look clean but NOT EMPTY! I can not stress this enough – if the page looks empty you’re going to have the visitor leave right away.
Use some color! It helps, I went through various versions of my dreamhost coupon code page, turns out the color pages had longer overall visits and a higher click through rate, up to over 20% on the one I’ve been linking.
Give them a way to get to the product without too much fuss! You’ll notice from the blue nile link – they offer various links to their products all about, they don’t hide it or make you scroll about. On my own landing page for DH I added a banner as a call to action! CLICK HERE! SIGNUP!

A Final Tip

When it comes to creating and editing these pages I recommend having some sort of CMS. If you have any sort of CMS, you’ll be able to integrate your site, landing pages, stat systems, and pretty much anything you’d like through the system – or even through blogging systems like WordPress if you set it up properly. In the case of this blog and my landing pages I use WordPress. I do recommend having something that is capable of tracking changes, easily linking in your stat systems, and keeps everything organized – find something you like and can work with – it’s worth the time to setup and learn.

If anyone is interested and needs someone to install and setup WordPress for the creation of landing pages let me know I’m happy to help out for a reasonable fee. Also, if you made it all the way down here, leave me a comment and let me know what you think, if you have any questions do the same!
